Magdalena

Dancing shadows and drifting clouds

Float slowly into sight

The silent ocean beckons me

The winds dare me to take flight

The crash and slide

The rush and calm

The purple skies

The rustling palms

Tender thoughts and hidden fears

Sorrows not yet known

Quiet love and restless pain

How high the tides have grown

Across the sandy shores

My perfect prints erased

Each step re-lives the moments lost

As waves wash over my embrace
